An electronic control system for controlling an automotive engine is mounted on a motor vehicle. A memory in a computer stores a plurality of data formats and signaling speeds. One of the data formats and signaling speeds is selected, and an answer demand signal dependent on a selected data format and signaling speed is fed to the electronic control system. In response to an answer from the electronic control system, a diagnosis is performed.
